Overview
Bath and shower screen fitting in Mottingham SE9, explained
Bath and shower screen fitting in Mottingham SE9 is a fixed-price visit for social-housing-led homes in Bromley, most of them inter-war. 3,789 households sit inside this SE9 patch, 25% of them flats, so we quote on access near Mottingham Village and Fairmount recreation ground rather than a London average.
How it works
How bath and shower screen fitting works in Mottingham
Five steps, the same on every SE9 job, so you know what happens before you commit. Council and housing-association blocks built from precast concrete and dense block on these streets — the pattern behind 3,789 households inside the SE9 neighbourhood is what we plan for here.
Step 1
Measure and level-check
Bath, tray or wet-room floor measured, and how far out of level it is checked before ordering, so packers and shims are ready on the day.
Step 2
Mark and pilot-drill tile
Positions marked, then pilot-drilled slowly into the glaze with a masonry bit rated for porcelain, which is the step that stops tiles cracking.
Step 3
Fix and pack level
Hinges, tracks or channels fixed and packed so the screen itself reads level even when the bath edge does not.
Step 4
Seal
Neutral-cure silicone run to the tile and the bath or tray, tooled to a clean bead and left to cure before use.
Step 5
Test and clear
Door or panel run through its full movement, checked for drips at the seal, and off-cuts and packaging removed.
Why choose us
Why Mottingham customers book us
Four things decide whether a SE9 job goes well, and none of them are visible from a price list.
Crew sized to the job
One fitter for a pivot or fixed screen; two for sliding and bi-fold enclosures and any wet-room panel over 190cm, which is awkward to hold plumb alone. Wide roads and driveways throughout, with easy turning for a Luton.
Booked around your day
Most bookings are within a week, sooner for a re-seal call where damp has already started to show. Mottingham (Southeastern) is the nearest station, so a SE9 visit rarely needs a whole morning set aside.
Mottingham walls, not generic walls
We expect often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 33% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first in SE9, and we carry the anchors, through-fixings and long bits that match. The mistake we spend most time undoing here is Mottingham gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 50% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year.
Fixed prices
Bath and shower screen fitting prices in Mottingham
Fixed prices for SE9 and the rest of Bromley. Screen type and how far out of level the bath, tray or floor sits. A packed-and-shimmed pivot screen is quick; a floor-fixed wet-room panel with no frame to hide the gap takes the longest to get plumb.
| Job | From | Typical time | What sets the price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pivot screen on a bath | £110 | 1–1.5 hrs | The hinge post is packed and shimmed to a bath edge that is rarely dead level, then silicone-sealed to the tile. |
| Fixed bath screen with return panel | £150 | 1.5–2 hrs | Two panels and a bracing bar have to be squared to each other before either is sealed, or the return panel gapes. |
| Sliding shower door on a tray | £190 | 2–3 hrs | The track is fixed to the wall tiles and the tray upstand, both drilled without cracking porcelain, then the rollers are set to run true. |
| Bi-fold shower door, enclosure | £220 | 2.5–3.5 hrs | Two hinged leaves fold flush without fouling the tray lip, which takes more adjustment than a single sliding panel. |
| Wet-room glass panel, floor-fixed | £240 | 3–4 hrs | No frame to hide behind: the channel and the panel both have to be perfectly plumb against a screeded fall. |
| Re-silicone an existing screen or bath edge | £65 | 45–75 min | Old silicone is cut out, the substrate dried and re-sealed — the single most common reason a bathroom starts to smell of damp. |

Scope
What's included in Mottingham
The same scope across SE9, whether the job is a single item or a full room.
Included in the price
- Standard on Bromley bookings: drilling set for porcelain and ceramic tile with a pilot to stop the bit skating off the glaze, with 3,789 households in this neighbourhood, it is the question we are asked most
- Screen or door packed and shimmed level even where the bath or tray is not, checked on every SE9 visit
- In Mottingham: neutral-cure silicone sealant used against tile and enamel, which will not corrode chrome fittings, sized for the wide roads and driveways throughout, with easy turning for a luton
- On SE9 jobs: old sealant fully removed and the substrate dried before resealing, bath and shower screen fitting included
Not included
- Replacing cracked or chipped bath enamel, tile or tray, which is quoted as a separate repair, handled by London Borough of Bromley or a specialist contractor instead

- Cutting or reglazing toughened glass on site — a damaged panel is replaced, not cut down, outside the fixed price on Mottingham bookings

Sulltan is the best handyman in London. He is very reliable and professional. I highly recommend.

I have recently had a lot of work done in my small flat which has left it grubby and, following surgery, I haven't been able to clean up myself. I booked a deep clean and a carpet shampoo. The team arrived as scheduled and started work, room by room. They were friendly, efficient and considerate.… Read in full →

Mottingham SE9 at a glance
Published figures for the neighbourhood that covers Mottingham — the numbers that actually change a bath and shower screen fitting quote.
3,789 households sit inside the SE9 neighbourhood covering Mottingham. The build is inter-war, the tenure profile social-housing-led, and 25% of those homes are flats.
Because 17% of Mottingham is privately rented and 33% socially rented, a lot of SE9 work is agreed with a landlord or managing agent rather than the person opening the door.
Mottingham substrates run to often with surface conduit, over precast concrete panels and dense blockwork, with 33% social-rented stock locally, block access is agreed with the estate office first. Nothing is drilled until the wall has been sounded, because Mottingham gives us drilling blind into a panel with reinforcement or a buried cable behind it, where 50% owner-occupation means the same home is booked again rather than a new tenant each year is the mistake that costs a SE9 customer twice.
A quiet interwar suburb between Eltham and Chislehurst. That character decides the practical detail of bath and shower screen fitting here far more than the borough boundary does. Mottingham is outside the Congestion Charge zone but inside ULEZ; our vehicles are compliant, so nothing is added for it.
Wide roads and driveways throughout, with easy turning for a Luton. Nearest station is Mottingham (Southeastern), and one fitter for a pivot or fixed screen; two for sliding and bi-fold enclosures and any wet-room panel over 190cm, which is awkward to hold plumb alone.

Can you fit a shower screen on an old cast-iron bath in Mottingham SE9?
Yes — a pivot screen is £110. Cast-iron and reglazed baths in Mottingham's older stock are rarely level along the rim on this side of Bromley — and 75% of Mottingham homes being houses, with Mottingham Village and Fairmount recreation ground a few streets away, so the hinge post is packed and shimmed until the screen itself reads plumb.

Do you drill into tiles in SE9 without cracking them?

I have mould around my old shower screen in Mottingham — can you just reseal it?

Where a permit or a suspended bay is needed in London Borough of Bromley it is itemised on the quote before the visit, never added afterwards in this 25% flats neighbourhood — and this being London Borough of Bromley territory, with 17% of SE9 homes being privately rented.
